Honor DSR = Off*
= On
Honor DSR determines whether the printer uses the Data Set
Ready (DSR) signal. DSR is one of the handshaking signals for
most serial interface cables. If Honor DSR is set to Off, data
received by the serial interface is seen as valid data. If Honor
DSR is set to On, only data received while the DSR signal is in
high condition is treated as valid data.
The serial interface uses DSR to distinguish data sent by the
computer from data created by electrical noise in the serial
cable. This electrical noise can cause stray characters to print.
Set Honor DSR to On to prevent stray characters from printing.
